Pech Marty Villa, Monflanquin
3 bedroom Villa in Dordogne. Sleeps 6
A sparkling retreat which offers something for everyone, Pech Marty will delight all who stay there. Set in spacious grounds with views over the surrounding countryside towards the 'bastide' town of Monflanquin, this lovely stone building has been sympathetically restored to become a most relaxing and comfortable 'home from home'.
As you arrive, you're welcomed by a vibrant display of colour and greenery, with a wonderful variety of trees, plants, flowers, and an orchard filling the grounds. The space has been thoughtfully designed to accommodate everyone’s needs.
Families with small children will appreciate the enclosed garden, featuring a terrace and pergola at the front of the house. Early risers can enjoy breakfast on the rear terrace, while those seeking peace and quiet can unwind in the coppice of trees at the far end. Of course, the essential private swimming pool has not been forgotten: gated and enclosed, it is perfectly positioned to capture the panoramic views surrounding the property.
Decorated with flair and imagination, the interior combines restful cosiness with real charm. The open-plan dining room and kitchen, overlooking the enclosed garden, is equipped for all your self-catering needs. An antique door leads into the comfortably furnished living room, where colourful paintings and artefacts adorn the walls, adding character to the space.
Monflanquin (7km) offers all the amenities you could need, from a large supermarket and bakeries to a variety of shops, restaurants, and bars. Perched on a hilltop, Monflanquin is an excellent example of a bastide town, with streets running at right angles from a central square.
The bastide’s market still takes place every Thursday in the Place des Arcades. Climb to the square beyond the church for magnificent views to the north over meticulously ordered vineyards, fields of cereal crops, and, in season, a dazzling sea of yellow sunflowers.

Private enclosed heated swimming pool (10m x 5m) with Roman steps.
